Oh! The SR-71 Blackbird has engines that work as a turbofan up to Mach 1 then there is a bypass system that allows the engine to function as a ram-jet over thet speed. That is what the big cone in the intake is all about.

I agree !!! All of us on here are into stuff thats just ... Cool ! Well, at least we think so ! I bet most of you watch Top Gear ???

The fact that were into something retro (bikes!) probably means you like Classic cars, Radio controlled models perhaps! Definitely airshows and aircraft full stop, car engines and anything to do with a bit of special engineering !!!

And yes footbal aint high on the list !!!
